This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 February 2025.
All research outputs
#9,511,858
of 27,765,396 outputs
Outputs from PLoS Biology
#10,353
of 11,372 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,741
of 77,530 outputs
Outputs of similar age from PLoS Biology
#42
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,765,396 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,372 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 40.3. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 77,530 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
